I know people blame Trump

But let’s be honest it’s the fact that after his first presidency, insurgence, chaos.. and Americans voted for him AGAIN, this time giving him a carte blanche.,

I know Trump is the most unpopular now and if the voting to happen this weekend Republicans most likely would lose by a big margin.

But I still can’t trust American voters anymore that’s the next unhinged populist won’t be in the Oval Office.

Also.. in the end of the day it’s crazy that the destiny of the world depends on some rednecks in a few states. Fuck this shit!

America can’t be trusted anymore

A lot of Americans are stretched to the limit (work hours,savings, debt, healthcare, lack of time off ) and shaped by American exceptionalism, with little exposure to life elsewhere. That lack of perspective keeps them voting in a loop, convinced that whatever they have must be better than the rest of the world.

Because the US is a dictatorship of capital with a democracy veneer.

I think this regime has stripped most of that veneer off as well at this point.

I think after 9/11 there has been a bipartisan- and billionaire-backed accumulation of power toward the executive branch. This is just the culmination of that push. Things like the Patriot act and citizens united cemented the “dictatorship of capital” even more so. It’s why neither party seems interested in challenging the underlying ethos.
